Connecting to Xero allows you to export your invoices to Xero directly from within WriteUpp. Previously, you had to manually export a file from WriteUpp, manipulate it and manually import it into Xero with all the challenges that this presented.

To get started, go to Settings -> Invoice and click on Configure Xero Export:

Next, click on the "Connect to Xero" button:
